Funeral wreath culture in kpop is getting out of hand and companies need to start taking action against it

in

Ive been noticing this past year the increasing number of times funeral wreaths are being sent by “fans” or antis to express dissatisfaction against a member or a company.

While hate online to some extent can be blocked and ignored, this kind of physical demonstrations of hate is just absolutely vile imo. Sending funeral wreaths is so twisted cause theyre usually sent when someone di*s and to send this to a living person is absolutely horrific.

Ive seen this happen with Yoongi of BTS where antis not only sent it to hybe but sent it to the front of his house and now im seeing it happen with the whole ri*ze situation.

I cant even imagine what the artists go through and im shocked companies dont make public announcements regarding it.

I saw that for the ri*ze one the police were called by some fans because of how bad the situation got in front of SM.

These wreaths are also not cheap. Theyre pretty expensive and it blows my mind the levels people will go to to spread hate at this level.

It’s frustrating and upsetting as a fan of both yoongi and seungh&n to see this happen to them. While having to deal with hate is a part of their job I think this kind is absolutely crossing all sorts of lines.
